I do not own Naruto

It had just hit 9 when Sakura pulled on a pair of leather gloves for her to fight and not leave finger prints in the end. She walked to her front door, opened a closet and started to dig through to find her pure black converse shoes.

After a few minute of searching, she finally found them and quickly put them on, lacing it to the top and tying it in a tight bow to make it secure for fighting tonight. Making sure her pack had the things she would need in a fight, the rosette walked out of the door and locked it behind her.

When she got to her car Neko just pulled up, swiftly getting out of her car, the raven haired woman walked fast to the rosette. Sakura unlocked the doors to her car and both her and Neko got into the 2013 dodge charger.

They left the apartment building and started to drive down the main road towards the place where the fight would be held tonight in complete silence. Not one of the women said anything to each other as they had a lot of their mind.

They got to the place and exited the car without saying a word. The building was a warehouse on the abandoned side of the pier after a huge tsunami. They walked up and Sakura pulled out her gloves from the bag on her hip.

"Be careful" Neko whispered

The rosette could only nod as when they got in they split paths. There was an upper area for the people just watching the fights could stand while there was a huge floor place for the people to fight. Kenchi was standing there waiting for the young rosette doctor with the most malicious grin plastered on his face. The rosette suppressed a shiver that went down her spine from the smile that could scare the Asgardian Loki and high tail it to another place.

"Ah Cherry-chan! So glad that you could make it!" He said as he stepped towards her.

Sakura on instinct took a step back from the said man and just put her gloves on.

"Oh I see! Alright, everyone tonight's fight is a very special fight you see! A fight between Cherry and the man she first fought here ever! Let's introduce Tai!"

A man walked in from the shadows and had an extremely heavy build to him. Sakura's eyes widened at the man in front of her. He had a hard look to his face as he looked up and saw Neko in the stand as she in return gave him a hard look, remembering the past.

"So without much ado, let the fight start!" Kenchi yelled

Tai moved first at great speed, Although Sakura could match it and be faster by just a notch to dodge his upcoming fist. In return she gave a quick jab to her side and that made him stumble a bit and almost made him lose his balance.

(Due to the fact that I didn't want to do a huge fight scene it will just cut to the end)

The fight kept going on and on. The people watching could see that both Sakura and Tai were getting tired, blows were of equal damage but only Sakura was faster and was able to land more hits on Tai.

That's when the worst happened.

Neko noticed early but not fast enough, a squad of cop cars pulling up. Though this wouldn't fully catch Police attention, Kenchi was also known for drugs. So far as Neko knew, Sakura didn't do drugs.

That's when everyone else heard it. Neko ran down the stairs and to the back door with Sakura close behind. No one else was able to react fast enough so while the police through tear gas they snuck out, all knowing that police would be around back, when and if they recognized Sakura and Neko they could play the part. They knew how, it wasn't hard and they always came here to think and talk out problems. It was a calm place where people wouldn't bug you and only listen to the waves.

The police saw them and they told them what happened, they came down here to listen to the waves and think when those guys came up and took them and made Sakura fight. Though due for Sakura not going up to the stand about Kenchi she said she rather be hidden. They asked to take her to the hospital but they both declined saying that they were fine but a few cuts and bruises that they could do at home.

After walking away, they headed for the car and got in. they sat there for awhile and just sighed.

"That was close" Sakura muttered

"Yeah…Too close" Neko muttered distantly.

For the rest of the ride back, neither of them said a thing.

But to Neko, this could have been the start of recovering for Sakura.

So you have have wondered what happened to me. Well, a lot.

I turned 18 last week and where I live that is considered an adult. So I can go drinking and vote and such. To me, its nothing special.

I work a lot, sort of. I am trying to find a better job to help pay the bills in my house.

and probably finally, this is the hard one. My dad doesn't have a job anymore, so that's why I'm helping to pay bills, he does a job with good pay but from the tax people they took almost all of our money and if we don't pay our mortgage in 15 days, the house will be foreclosed.

While looking for new jobs they are some that would maybe cost me to move. Like to the other side of the country move. So while I hope he gets a new job, I don't want to move.

So please now, wait for me. I will NOT abandon this story, I just don't have the time.

Stay happy friends,

~Neko~
